As Jim Caldwell so rightly puts it, and as a player should think, this Sunday’s game is just like any other game. But as a fan, and potentially as a team, it means so much more. As a Lions fan, I have endured years of ribbing from my mates. The Lions have, more seasons than […]

So, heading into the main part of week, here are the Lions’ playoff scenarios: Detroit clinches NFC North: 1) DET win + GB loss The Lions travel to Chicago for its first road game since the Patriots in week 12. The team is focused on getting done what it needs to get done. Green Bay […]

So here we are, only 3 games left in the regular season and a final home game beckons for the Lions…. Everything has looked good the last two weeks as the offence has gotten back on track albeit against lesser opponents than the Cardinals and Patriots. The team’s new approach to look at just one […]

Part of me is still smarting from the Buffalo loss. When I used to play, I was fine with the 24-hour rule. But I struggle with it being a Lions fan! Maybe it was the way Jim Schwartz was carried off the field that rubbed it in. Or maybe it was the way momentum was […]

Following last week’s demolition of New York, Detroit travel to Carolina to face a side who managed a tough win against the Bucs.

Now, this fixture is personally a big thing for me. Confession time: I live nowhere near Detroit. I live in the UK, so […]

Defense start fast Right now, in the minds of fans, defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham and the defensive squad is the Eagles rushing all over them in the 4th quarter. DeAndre Levy correctly stated that the defense played “soft” in the final period. It is crucial that the defense puts that in the past and returns […]

The Detroit Lions could possibly wrap up the division in weeks 15 or 16, should they beat the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday (with Bears and Packers losses). The Lions face a hot Eagles side this Sunday on a 4-game win streak. Wins over Oakland, Green Bay, Washington and Arizona have got Philly fighting hard for […]

These 4 things are what the 6-5 Detroit Lions must do to get the much needed divisional win this Thanksgiving Thursday. 1. Quarterback Matthew Stafford Leading The Offense Stafford has already given Lions fans hope for the future. His numbers have been phenomenal and this season more than ever he has been a top 5/6 […]
